1Opinion of the Court

MURRAY, Justice.

For a full statement of this cause, see Tex.Civ.App., 101 S.W.2d 632, Tex.Sup., 112 S.W.2d 1035, and Tex.Sup., 114 S.W.2d 853.

At a previous term this Court reversed the judgment of the trial court and remanded this cause for a new trial, upon the theory that the trial court should have sustained a general demurrer to the petition. It was the opinion of this Court that the acts of the officers of the City of Harlingen, in connection with the operation of the Valley Mid-Winter Fair, were ultra vires, and that the City was not responsible therefor. See our opinion in 101 S.W.2d…
